The democratic party is in favor of
railroad legislation, no matter if it has
been placed in a false position by men,
bers of its state central committee.
The platform adopted at st. Louis con-
tanned this paragraph, which was not
only adopted unanimously, but was
cheered to the echo when it was read
at is the deliberate Judgment OF the demo-
cratic party of Missouri that Ia their very
nature. as well rs by the provision of our
state constitution. railroads are public high
ways, many of which were built by public
taxation; that both the right and duty Of the
state to regulate and control these highways
Is clear and can never be %abrogated; that the
wise provisions OF our constitution as to dis
elimination In freight and passenger rates by
railroads, against competing lines being IN
der one management, against the giving of
passes or reduced rates TO public officers,
against such corporations engaging in other
business and their officers furnishing supplies
to such roads, together with the other re.
quirements Of our constitution, should be
supplemented by stringent law carrying
them into effect, and we demand or the next
general assembly the passage Of all such nec-
essary laws, with such penalties as will in
sure them due observance. We further de-
clare that rates SHOULD be so adjusted on
freights as to give the railroads a fair and just
remuneration for the services performed and
the money actually invested, exclusive Of
watered or fictitious stock, that our board Of
ill., $1,000 -a-. ,L@,,ll -aI,no oil

powers Of the board are inadequate to that
end, that such further authority be given it;
that us demand that our present laws Be so
amended as to give the board the powsr to en-
force such rates aOhsn fixed, and the shipper,

We give a great deal of space i'll this
issue to the house railroad bill, in Or
der that our readers may see that its
advocates were not such unreasonable
people as has been represented. Sill,
We want it understood that we are not
welded to that bill. What we want is
reasonable, yet adequate legislation.
We believe house bill $40 represents
the true theory of legislation for this
state, but were we a member of TIE
legislature we should accept the besI
thing that could be presented by the
friends of railroad legislation.

eoateaporary, the Advance, has sur
rendered under fire. When on Gods
earth will we ever get suitable railroad
legislation if we urn tail and run
every time the railroads threaten US!
They have tried that game on Lexing-

our mining industries, and they sent,
through one of their attorneys, the
very same threat made by Mr.. Harris.
Our contemporary was all right a few
weeks ago. We are sorry it is all
wrong now. If it will read Jerre
Blacks great speech before the Penn

will better realize the fact that every
victory gained by the monopolists is a

"The question Of railroad legislation
should not be pressed quite so vigorous
ly at the present time in view of the
railroads which are proposed to be

play on the railroads a little confidence
game. Get them to build first, and
then pop it to EN- atterward. Would
